Used kids clothes in Nanaimo typically sell for C$9 to C$47 (about $7 to $34). Children’s clothes sell in bundles, not singly, so group by age and gender and price the lot — a single used t-shirt is not worth either party’s time.
Selling kids clothes in Nanaimo
Nanaimo is the second city of the island and the main ferry crossing point to the mainland, built on a harbour with a coal-mining past. It is a jumping-off point for the rest of the island, and the marine economy here is ordinary rather than recreational.
Retirement and downsizing supply a great deal of well-kept furniture, and the ferry connection means people moving to or from the mainland sell up rather than pay to ship things across.
The ferry terminals and the harbour are the landmarks everyone uses. If either of you is crossing from the mainland, build the sailing schedule into the arrangement rather than treating it as a short drive.
Nanaimo, in British Columbia, has around 100,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. Vancouver, Surrey and Burnaby are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Nanaimo
Interac e-Transfer is the norm and is instant and traceable, which suits a private sale well. It is what most buyers will suggest before anything else.
